What is the US national interest in bombing a big bridge in Iran?

[JonKoch]

The NYTs says the bridge struck in Iran was part of a “planned military supply route for sustaining Iran’s ballistic missile and attack drone force.”

So this bridge was a key artery for Iran's military defense.

No reason to bomb it, right?

Nah Cheeto and his admin said it, the Times reported it



A spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry, who has repeatedly argued that the country has no reason to trust Mr. Trump’s mediators when Israel and the United States have twice attacked the country in the middle of talks, said that negotiations were not feasible.

More than 100 international law experts signed a letter on Thursday warning that the United States’ conduct in the war and the statements of U.S. officials “raise serious concerns about violations of international humanitarian law, including potential war crimes.”

Here’s what else happened on Thursday:

Iran: An airstrike destroyed the Pasteur Institute of Iran, a renowned public health institution that produces and distributes vaccines, the Iranian government said. A spokesman for the Iranian health ministry called the attack a “direct assault on international health security.”

A highway bridge connecting Tehran and the city of Karaj was also attacked, killing eight people and wounding 95 others, Iranian news media reported. Iran’s state broadcaster said that a second strike hit the bridge as emergency workers were trying to rescue the injured.

A U.S. military official said that American forces were responsible for the attack, which came on the last day of the Iranian new year holiday, when Iranians traditionally celebrate by spending time outdoors. The U.S. official said the bridge was a planned military supply route for Iran’s missile and drone forces, though Iranian news media said the bridge was not yet operational and was not being used by the military. Mr. Trump celebrated the bridge’s destruction, vowing there was “much more to follow.”

You go there and link these charges you are dreaming about. Please be specific about any charges. I eagerly await. No victim has implicated Trump. Clinton, Hunter Biden, Al Franken, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Randy Andy? Yup, they're there. Maybe you should educate yourself and quit depending on CNN or the NYT.

New Evidence Corroborates Claims of Trump Sex Accuser, 13​

A new investigation has backed up evidence given by a woman who has accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her when she was 13, according to a report.

The woman conducted four interviews with the FBI in 2019 in which she detailed alleged abuse by Trump and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Her interviews referencing Trump were initially withheld by the Department of Justice.

Clearly, you haven't read even one page of the 3 million released. You are spewing uninformed, false garbage. Another of your classless heeeeroes, Bill Clinton is mentioned far more and he and Hilarity both have been to Epstein's island. Trump has never been there, indeed, Trump hasn't had anything to do with Epstein since he bought the island. However, Epstein did have this hanging in his NY apt. Try again--educate yourself this time.

GUESS YOU ARE WRONG CUPCAKE!

Apparently you're too stupid to realize the military uses bridges, too. That would be why we bombed the **** out of bridges in WW2.

Go home. Let the adults discuss this.

You are nothing but a faux conservative Zionist Fascist Traitor and Liar, not an "adult" since your IQ is under 5 and you don't have a molecule of patriotism to America.

 

[EMH]

If all else fails, read your own fricken link.

A US military official told the New York Times that by destroying the bridge American forces eliminated a planned military supply route for Iran’s missile and drone forces.

That military official should be put on trial and sent to military prison.

 

[EMH]

If you don't understand war tactics, then don't say anything.

If you don't understand that the US should not be engaged in bombing civilian targets, you aren't an American..... which you aren't, you are a Zionist Fascist TRAITOR.

 

[EMH]

Uh....maybe stopping IRGC from constructing nuclear bombs ? DUH!!!!

Bombing a bridge is going to stop iran from building a nuke bomb?


What we see here is that those who are Zionist Fascist aren't the slightest bit American. Most have IQ<5 and only care about their hate and their sworn servitude to a country halfway around the planet.

If your treasonous beaked birdbrain can parrot it, it must be "true."

Lol. If you think Iran moves ballistic missiles over open roads in full view of US surveillance, you’re dumber than even I thought.

Do you know the number of schools, universities, and hospitals the US and your nation of Israel have destroyed, since you started this horrendous war for Israel?

Total war is what you do. Just admit it. You like destroying civilian infrastructure and mass murdering women and children.

A very mixed message so far...

Iran's tallest bridge collapses after reported US airstrikes, Iran threatens American allies in retaliation

Iran's biggest bridge near Tehran crashes down following reported U.S. airstrikes as Trump presses the regime to make a deal before escalation.

www.foxnews.com

"The B1 highway bridge, a key link between Iran’s capital and the western city of Karaj,"

is/was clearly a civilian target. That's like claiming if one US military Hummer goes down a highway, that's a "military highway."


"Iranian state TV also said the bridge was hit twice, roughly an hour apart, resulting in civilian casualties"

Karoline Leavitt fires back at NBC News reporter who asked if Trump's Iran threat amounts to a 'war crime'

Karoline Leavitt pushes back on war crimes question after Trump threatened to obliterate Iranian power plants and oil wells over the Hormuz Strait.

www.foxnews.com

"The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran. Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet ‘touched.’





In other words, those are civilian targets... and more are planned...

Do you see the contradiction, or do I need to explain it to you?

I was hoping the second & third sentence was going to have a grain of substance about something. Dang!

Bombing a bridge could very well contribute to stopping iran from building a nuke bomb. Of course. What if that bridge is a crucial route in the delivery of components from a manufacture point, and an assembly point, for example. Many other scenarios could be as well. I doubt if you have the specific information needed to judge.

 

[debbiedowner]

We tell Iranian people we are to "liberate them" and then Israel sets their oil and gas on fire and we take out huge expensive bridges.

How does taking out a bridge in Iran make America "safer?"

Iran’s tallest bridge destroyed in US airstrikes as Trump warns of more destruction

Trump shared footage of the newly built span connecting Tehran and Karaj being blown to bits and threatened “much more” destruction if Tehran doesn’t meet the US’ demands for a cease-fire.

Better to just pack up and go home than hitting this civilian stuff....

Destroying bridges is a classic, high-priority tactic often associated with preparing for, supporting, or restricting a ground invasion.

Yeah because building a nuke underground requires use of a bridge.

Can’t fix stupid.

 

[protectionist]

But the US govt IS taking care of Medicare, Medicaid, (although the Social Security COLAs sure need to be boosted significantly).

You were on the right path, but you used the wrong example.

Of course it could, you MORON, and I just explained how, but your scattered brain is too channeled into TDS, to follow it.

Bottom line is - the entitlements are OK.
So if you want to bash Trump, do it correctly. The COLAs.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

That is one less missile you have if China invades Taiwan.

Trump should cancel his visit with Xi, do not let him catch his mojo, keep him uncertain. Trump is best when he sticks to his guns and/or remains unpredictable.

I used to complain that militaries were wasting their time firing into a desert somewhere. This may end up being the case in Iran if they are just trying to dig holes and fill them again.

The only time Trump is at his best....................
